15th August 2011 - Lake Douglas Recreation Reserve

This campsite is located about 12k South West of Kalgoorlie and 26k North East of Coolgardie. The signed turnoff leads to a mine and the campsite is about a further kilometer along a reasonable dirt road. The main camping area is a large, open, level site with tables, bins and wood fire places. There are two long drop toilets which are a bit rough. The area is popular as travellers leave their caravans at the site and explore Kalgoorlie and surrounds using this as a base.

Located off the Goldfields Highway 60k North East of Menzies via Kookynie Road, is Niagara Dam Camping Area. Firstly, the road to the dam is sealed for the whole trip and is easily accessed by any vehicle.

The area is divided into three different sections. One level is an un-shaded area that overlooks the dam, is suitable for 4 or 5 rigs. Below the dam wall is another camping area that is level and has shade that would suit small gatherings of caravans. Further away from the dam is another level, shaded and open area suitable for larger groups of tents and caravans. There are walking tracks around the dam, wood fire places (BYO wood), bins, one composting toilet (Above Dam) and one dual flush toilet and a dump point (Below Dam).

30th July 2011 - Karalee Rock - Southern Cross District

This exceptional campground between Coolgardie and Southern Cross is accessed along a dirt road from the highway for about 3k. The area is large, level, shaded and open, has tables, wood fire places, a septic/ composting flushing toilet, and a dump point. The water catchment engineering achievement has well defined walking tracks with signs giving the details of the process taken, and the reason for the construction. Another “out of the way” camp site well worth a look and at least an overnight camp.
